Doesn't make it legally yours as a foreigner. The Supreme Court has upheld time and time again that foreigners cannot own land legally (for any significant amount of time)...no matter what the title says. Then the property belongs to the corporation, not the individual(s) within the corporation. Still not the foreigners property legally. As you should. I think it's awesome you are trying to do the right thing. I hate it when governments/organizations make doing the right thing so dang hard. Ok, mom.
1. Does the requirement tree cut permit for trees in private land apply to non-coconut varieties such as mango and ficus (foundation destroying)? Thus thread and some Internet articles seem specific to coconut. 2. If several varieties are applicable, any tree varieties exempt? 3. What about trimming tree branches? The trees here grow very quickly and may need trimming twice per year. Any information appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
For trimming/cutting branches you dont need to get a permit. Applies only for cutting trees,coconuts because the govt. Is protecting the natural resources. If u plan to cut other trees(mangoes,etc.) Maybe u have to go to DENR to apply for the permit. I will find out soon coz we wantd to cut trees also other than coconuts. For the coconut trees its the PCA(Philippine Coconut Authority)
Right. Not being fair because there are a lot of locals who did cut trees without a permit and they dont even own the land to start with. They're just lucky that they were not caught and no neighbor dared to report them.
Its possible thru inheritance. When the filipina wife dies and no surviving ascendants(parents), legitimate/illegitimate descendants(children). Then the surviving spouse can own/inherit the whole estate
Not permanently. And how many Filipinos have absolutely NO family, especially once it is found out there is property up for grabs?
Husband can then become “beneficial owner” according to our attorney. In that case, you leave title as is and you control the property as you wish, live on it, rent it or sell it. Title does not have to be in a living person’s name. Half are not in this country. Or, you can donate it to the Church with condx that you live on it till you die. Anyway, sorry to digress from coconut tree permits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
you need a permit from the PCA to cut coconut trees. as we got it, there were no instructions to plant new trees. maybe it has sth to do with the status of the property; if it is agricultural or residential. for all other kind of trees, the DENR is responsible. they give you a certificate of tree plantation ownership. don't cut anything without their permission, or you might get deep into troubles. you need an additional permit if you want to transport the wood to another place.
